"The 2013 Wimbledon Post"

So 5th-seeded Nadal leads to Nadal and Federer in the same quarter, and in the same half as Murray, leaving Djokovic alone in his half.

In response to Reply # 0

If Isner & Mahut could play each other in the opening round two years in a row (a convenient rematch of their marathon), they couldn't have 'drawn' Nadal in Ferrer's quarter? Djokovic is laughing all the way to the final.

I almost think on grass, in 2013 at least, he'd rather see Nadal than Murray.

Ok, or at least well enough to beat Darcis. Probably had more to do with being rusty on the surface.

21. "he was not moving well"
In response to Reply # 20

He made some rusty errors but the bigger issue was his knees, I think. He was pulling up short on normally gettable balls, having trouble decelerating, and unable to lower his body on his backhand pretty much the whole time.

Now maybe that's partly psychological and not just physical knee damage. But he looked really hindered.

wet grass and shaky knees is not a good mix. tougher to find your footing/change directions + you got to dip lower on slices (which Darcis was using really well). not to mention his top spin got no bite whatsoever on a surface like that.

I think Australia and the French is the only slams he got a chance from this point on. 'roids catching up.

Logic for Aussie but not U.S. Genuinely curious.

Different points in the calendar, surface differences, the balls?

26. "the first two, mostly"
In response to Reply # 25

US open is the fastest slam surface at this point, so again, his top spin doesn't have the same bite there than it does at the French or the Aussie (maybe the balls play a part in that too, I don't know).

Also, Flushing comes at the tail end of a tough hard court season, not too long after the euro season...of course, Rafa can pick his spots in the US summer tour to avoid putting too much stress on his knees, but then he's going to be less prepared than the competition. The Aussie is different because it comes right after the longer winter break, everybody has three weeks or so to prepare at most, so it's a more level playing field.

a liability. Can you name another time when it was smart to hit into Rafa's forehand? He'd tear those fuckers down the line so fast it was amazing. Now his shots from the same position are kind of tepid. Djok played him that way at the French, and Darcis played him that way this past match. I don't know what he needs to do, but I'm thinking he's not being honest about how bad his knee really is.

He didn't look confident at all out there, hopefully it was just a case of not being able to adapt to the new surface as opposed to knee problems...

You gotta give it up to Darcis. Nadal didn't look like himself at all, but Darcis looked like it would have taken all the forces of heaven and hell to let Nadal back in that match. Dude saw his shot and played it just about as good as someone of his rank could.

Isner, Stepanek, Darcis, Azarenka all retired or withdrew due to injuries. Benneteau just had a nasty fall as well.

Jo was talking about his knee issues before the tournament so it's not like I expected a great run out of him but still this is becoming jarring. Guess I'm rooting for Murray/Fed now!

I was hoping I wouldn't be right about Fed's quarter final streak ending this year, especially not at Wimbledon in the 2nd round against a guy I've never heard of. Then there are all these withdraws, retirements and other upsets, just a crazy fucking day. Normally you can pencil Djokovic and Murray in the final with Fed and Nadal gone, but who knows WTF is gonna happen now, I'm shocked lol.

in the draw will step up or at the very least someone who's been hovering around the top tier for a little bit, but it seemed like everyone got dropped scrubs or people they should have beaten handily.

at this tournament, and when the draw opened up everyone went from expecting Serena to win to damn near guaranteeing she would win. She looked nervous that entire third set.

Between this match and Lisicki-Radwanska the semifinals have been really great so far. If the second men's semi and the two finals over the weekend come close to the same level of play, that'd be nuts.

Didn't even drop a set this tournament, well deserved. It would've been REAL interesting had Lisicki tied it at 5-5 in the 2nd, since she finally started to swing freely when she was down match points, but kudos to Bartoli for serving it out. Hopefully Lisicki will have another chance to play for the title.

97. "Are the nerves in a final really that much more consuming than"
In response to Reply # 0

playing Serena or Radwanska in tight 3 setters? I guess people just start to think about the trophy n shit and they go AWOL. I was hoping Lisicki's nerves would get worked out after a couple of games, it shouldn't take much longer than that if you're a pro but of course it's a teenage girl we're talking about, so I can't say I'm that surprised.

98. "why would she be nervous vs Serena or Radwanska?"

she was the clear underdog in those two matches and when you're down 3 zip facing elimination is exactly when you can be as loose as can be

playing a final for the 1st time vs another underdog, when the general feeling is that you're supposed to win...that's gonna make you tight. And Bartoli's game doesn't have that much pace, so it makes it difficult to get into a good hitting rhythm.

If you fall behind from the beginning against a top player then it's different.

108. "yes, he does"
In response to Reply # 101

Not to take anything away from Murray--beating the best player in the world in straights is never easy.

But Djokovic was missing a gear (until that final game).

In response to Reply # 101

He's mostly been unlucky his whole career, even at the Aussie Open this year he had to play 5 sets to beat Fed in the semi, whereas Djokovic demolished Ferrer in straight sets, then went on to win the final against a beat-up Murray. You do need some stars to be aligned in order to win the big ones.

In response to Reply # 0

His mental approach has been the major factor in his recent surge...and it was showcased in both the semi's and finals. Respect.

Djoko...dude dug his heels in on that final game, wow. You could tell that dp semi took a lot out of him bc he was really trying to conserve energy by shortening rallies with more aggressive/risky play.
